2 Chronicles 6:5-9 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

5. Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:

6. But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

7. Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

8. But the LORD said to David my father,

9. Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son who shall come forth out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.
